New Front End Loader Problem

[Southlex]

Is this the first time you've removed it? Did it come off properly before? I just wonder if you are on level ground or there is some reason you aren't removing it in a way to get the load off of the pin?

Try rolling the bucket(dump) enough to start taking the weight off the front end. If that doesn't free the pins then you could be right.

Will do, thanks again.

I've only taken my new loader off once, haven't put it on yet. And I take them on and off a lot. I refuse to pull an implement or something on the 3 PT with the loader on when I can remove it in 2 minutes. With my old 5310 i would invariably not roll the bucket far enough and one pin would release when the other wouldn't. That is almost always because the ground I was on wasn't level. When I got this new loader I had a 20 x 20 slab poured under my equipment shed just for the loader. It does make a difference.

Check manual first, may need to slightly raise front end to remove pressure on pin

Thanks, I'm going to try it tomorrow.

I'm going to try it in a different location tomorrow. Thank you

Is the loader tweaked?
Could be bent cross brace behind the bucket?

Thanks to everyone that responded. I put some weight in the bucket. That took enough pressure off the right side pin so I could remove it. Looks like the pin was mushroomed on the end a little. Had to happen when they installed it. I worked on that spot and then polished and greased it. Comes out like it's supposed to now. Thanks again. Really appreciate the responses. Bill
